Duck Duck Goose

Hey Everyone!  Well, I know my posts have been a bit dull lately.  I've had so much to do, and so many thoughts bubbling around in my head and I just haven't had the motivation to write a serious post in a while.  Please indulge a bit longer and I promise I'll put down a little substance in a day or so. 

Yesterday was quite an adventure, though!  We saved a baby duck from our church parking lot and put it in a pond in Canton on some of our friends land. 

"Miss Emily" (supposed by some to have been Scarletts sister in Gone With the Wind) as we called her, apparently got separated from the rest of her flock and was weak and soiled in one of our church bushes, far from any water source to live in.  She stayed in a cardboard box with some crumpled shirts during her stay at our house, but every two hours dad took her out to swim in the tub of water and get a little bite to eat.  She ate virtually nothing and we were eager to get her back in the wild where she would get back to her old habits again.  Our dog "Miss Scarlett" was also eager for her departure. 

I suppose I might as well finish of the shallowness and tell you what I bought with the remnant of my Christmas money:

Bordeaux leather Kenneth Cole Shoes

3 pairs of Khakis and blue, and olive colored pairs of pants

2 plaid shirts, a poplin shirt,  a sweater and a button up long sleeve under shirt.

8 new pars of socks suitable for khakis (I hate the white socks with khakis although I've been known to do it.  It's a Northern Garland thing, you wouldn't understand.)

A new leather Belt to go with new shoes!

I feel a lot less scrungy and homeless looking!  Believe it or not, I skipped purchasing new khakis last season because my budget was tight.  Fortunately, Cremieax makes good enough clothing to last a year or more without fraying or discoloration.

Auf Wiedersehen,

C.H.B.
